In this oral introduction, Krista Bonello details the starting points and intellectual triggers of her research at the intersection of punk and ‘altcom’ which brought her to write The Punk Turn in Comedy: Masks of Anarchy (London: Palgrave, 2018). Bonello walks us through the various lines of thinking and case studies explored in the volume towards the rich conclusions she has drawn about both ‘genres’ as complex aesthetic and social strategies for political critique.
